This development should stimulate action on the part of all concerned to bring a quick end to the wholly unsatisfactory conditions that have prevailed at the field with respect to civilian flying. For several months, the question of a navy permit for civilian flying has been hang ing fire. The city airport com mission has twice rejected navy drafts of permits. Mean while, civilian flying has been started on an informal basis on the field, through what the nnvv calls "snffprnnpp. 11 No system of management EPLEY or administration has been possible, and the whole thing has tended to hold back postwar aviation activity here. Meanwhile, an unhealthy relationship has develooed between Klamath's enterprising civilian fliers and flying service operators and the city administration and air port commission. The fliers have proposed that they be per mitted to assume responsibility for the field until the city can work out its administrative plans and its permanent arrangements with the navy. The city has been reluctant to act, and recently has asked the navy for $37,500 in main tenance expenditures before a temporary agree ment is made. Now, the big field, with all of its fine facil ities, is put back in the idle stage. The navy isn't using it, and the navy won't let civilians use it under present conditions. It's time to get going with an arrangement that will put the field in legal use. The city officials are not to be censured for wanting the best deal possible from the navy but it should be a fair deal and it should be worked out quickly. News Behind The News By PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, Aoril 17 The accounts of the advancement of a labor mediation bill sounded like the senate labor committee had given in at last. This old guard of the CIO on the committee, which never before had let through a bill unwanted by leftwing unions, had surrendered to Mr. Truman, at least to the extent of doing something about strikes! The senatorial clique of leftist sympathizers who recently wished to purge the democratic painty of all opposition to Truman except their own, had decided to purge themselves of opposition In this case! Yeah? The news given out was sufficiently sparse to encourage such a belief among the unwary. The published reports I saw handed to news men by the committee said nothing even about a vote in the committee, but left the idea only three awful republicans were against, what was proposed and what was proposed was a five man board to mediate these disputes, and stop them, yes sir. Behind this sparse news was mora news than two columns could carry. But it was all of the same character as the dominant concealed fact, namely: The leftwingcrs all voted against their own bill. Worked lr This Way THEY worked it this way: When the Case bill which had been passed by the house came over to the senate proposing Mr. Truman's fact finding plan with a couple of added bicuspids, the labor committee folded it aside and quietly sat on it. Not until all the strikes were over, did they act that is all the big CIO strikes ex cept Westinghouse. But not the coal strike of John Lewis whom they oppose. The auto strike in which the unions promised they wanted no wage increase which would increase prices was over, but not the auto price increases which re sulted, one having been already imposed on the public a few weeks ago, and another being cur rently promised in the news. The committee outwaited the public. The pressure from the people for action by the gov ernment against the strike campaign died down. Right at that moment three weeks ago. the com mittee acted in secret approving this new mediation bill Then it waited three weeks more to be certain, to take no chances. It was evident in the news accounts I saw that the bill had been stripped not only to the bone, but beneath. One finger was left of the original proposition, a finger without a body, or even nerve direction. It was the proposition to institute a mediation board, without a cooling off period for strikes (let us have them as in the past,) without arbitration, without anything. The government, of course already has a mediation service. It proposed what is already being done. But even this one finger proposition, the text of the committee report discloses, waj opposed by the dominating committee clique, namely the chairman Senator Murray, Pepper, Guffey, Hill, Chavez and Thomas. Do We Take Chances! BOY, do we take chances in the CIO and our senate labor committee! We wait until the public has forgotten everything, we hope, in cluding the promise of no price increases for our wage increases then wait three weeks longer then emasculate the president's mild factfinding plan (so mild the rail brotherhoods have lived and prospered into the strongest of unions under a similor arrangement providing cooling off periods) then what do we do, in our daring in the public behalf? Give in to our party leader and bravely give him what he says is necessary' Nope. We sign a supplemental report to the majority report on our one fingered bill opposing even this one-finger we have given him. But this sounds like something less than bright for us you may say? We oppose the only thing pertinent we have left in the bill. How can we pretend to such a position? We . have thought of that, I may tell you. Brightly enough we have added to the bill an entirely different proposition, another bill passed by the house in connection with another matter. We added the Hobbs bill, and on that, apparently we firmly stand. Now the Hobbs bill, as we amended it to suit our purpose, prohibits use of "extortion" and "recketeering" by unions in the interference with transportation of perishable agriculture commodities. Not in connection with other pro ducts, mind you. Extortion is all right on those. We still allow extortion and racketeering by unions, but not by the public, in connection, presumably on nonpcrishable farm products, on manufactured products, on any kind of products or human beings but not on things like let tuce. They spoil. SIDE GLANCES C? tHI iY NfA IKVKI WC T M. Sit U PT. Of Extension Unit News Shuslu-llomedala homo exten sion unit will im-tit r'rliluy, 10:30 a. m., ut the homo of Mis.

Subject Peoples Look To America For Leadership Whether it wishes or not, the United States is looked to by the Far East's underprivileged millions for leadership toward better things, John B. Hughes, noted radio commentator, told the Knife and Fork club in a lec ture at the Willard hotel last night. Hughes asserted that America must not miss the opportunity at this moment in history to help these subject peoples, economi cally and politically. It is the humanitarian thing to do, but furthermore it will pay practical dividends, the speaker declared. He mentioned cooperation in orderly development of govern ment, business investments, and sympathetic understanding as helpful measures Americans can take in this situation. Among the colonially - con trolled peoples of the Far East. Hughes declared, the United States represents the ideals of freedom and human rights. He said that the American policy with respect to tht Philippines has set the standards that are viewed by people of the cast as their great hope.

Steel's Theatre Guild on the Air next Sunday. The Easter Sunday pro gram will have an all-negro cast, headed by Juano Fernandez and Richard Huey, along with the music of the celebrated Hall Johnson Choir. Adapted by Con riely from the Roark Bradford stories of "Ole Man Adam and His Chillun,'' the play deals with the trusting faith of the southern negro as translated by a Louisiana preacher retelling the story of the Old Testament to his Sunday school class. The action takes place in a joyous and believable negro heaven headed by a simple and just ne gro god, portrayed by Fernan dez, ine only Pulitzer Prize play with a negro theme, "Green Pastures," was a sensational stage success, running for 630 consecutive performances before it was made into a movie.
